Located at the edge of the Skookumchuck Narrows, just east of the BC Ferries terminal at Earl's Cove, Egmont offers a public boat launch, water taxis, family restaurant, pub and the Bathgate General Store, built in 1948. Accommodations in Egmont range from a campground to ocean view cabins and an inn. A prime charter boat base, Egmont is also a departure point for cruises up the Jervis Inlet to serenely beautiful Princess Louisa Marine Provincial Park, home to the thundering 40 m (120 ft) Chatterbox Falls, and where the granite walls of a glacier-carved gorge are marked with ancient pictographs.
The Skookumchuck Narrows Provincial Park, one of BC's most spectacular outdoor shows performs twice daily when up to 200 billion gallons of water flows into the narrows connecting Sechelt and Jervis inlets, creating wildly turbulent tidal rapids and whirpools. The rapids at high tide can rise up to 2 m (6.6 ft ), running at speeds of more than 30 km/hr (19 mi/hr), drawing extreme kayakers and whitewater adventure seekers from around the world.
